I am a fullstack engineer who has been working professionally for 15 years. Most of them have been remotely. I have worked on one of the most trafficked RoR sites and built analytics tracking for a top social network.
They say, data is the new oil, so exploit it!

1. Even the top courts in India have questioned the government on it but the government has no answer. I am not sure what information you have that you can emphasise that it has to. There is no political/public pressure only a marketing one.
2. Exactly! But enforcing of shorter deadlines by government is not going to help anyone and result in a few outrages by the road by the drivers and forgotten by everyone by the next news cycle.
HN threads are for healthy discussions and I would not expect a solution to climate change here.
Your language is aggressive & attacks me personally and I am not going to respond further.
Replacing new and working oil cars with new electric cars in a short timeline is a poor decision which is far off from reality.
I am not against electric cars, I want them. I am against the idea to replace cars which have already contributed to significant pollution being removed from road.
The lowest hanging fruit for me is to get US and other top polluters to reduce pollution. India and China are doing good already as they are increasing more green cover. The reality is the India car drivers cannot afford the cheaper electric cars, forget about Tesla.
China has shown the way to do the transfer. Super high taxes for registration of a petrol/diesel car and free registration for an electric one. Build cars at home and subsidise its components.
No hand-waving required. Just make it more affordable. Let capitalism finish the job.
Indian taxis/cars on Indian roads do worse.
India's electric market is 60% coal.
"If you want good return-on-investment, taxis are the first vehicles we should be regulating. They drive a lot more than the average car." - Who is the you here? The car driver who is trying to make ends meet?
Please lookup charts of air pollution in the world, there are multiple smaller cities of India which are manufacturing hubs and on the list.
There is nothing called controlled pollution. And even if there is a technical feasibility like Carbon Capture and Storage it is not enforced.
* Indian car companies do not have electric cars (a real car can go for atleast 200kms a charge/refill).
* A car factory(even non-electric) would take atleast 5 years to start churning cars.
* Even in that case, it will have to import 40% of the cost ie batteries as India cannot make them. If it starts today, it can in 10 years.
* Import duties of fully assembled, SKD and CKD electric cars is very high makes them uncompetitive to petrol/diesel cars.
* Direct importing is not viable as it requires certification.
* 60% of India's electric supply is coal based.
And to top it;
* Upto 50% of pollution a car will cause is done during production of the car ie before even a kilometre has been driven. Replacing lots of good working cars from the street is not environment friendly.
(I was trying to be sarcastic. Thankful for the courses :)).
This is again going to take up my weekends just like their previous course. :D
Congrats on the new course! Thank you. :)
Although I live in that area and don't drink tea.
Super awesome!
